How does accepting an answer work?

I apologize if this is stupid question or not for this board... But I keep seeing acceptance rate on this forum. What is this and how is it calculated?

EDIT - how is the acceptance rate shown on profile? or is it by default once the numbers are computed?

I found it on meta.stackoverflow. It is the ratio of your questions that have answers that you accepted. So if you have 5 questions with answers given, and you accepted 4 of them, and the 5th still has available answers you didn't choose, your rate is 80%.
